Wow, and the couch looks pretty comfy too. I might turn up unannounced.

Thanks guys - you've been a great help - and the view from your window is something to be envious about - Arran is on my list of places to visit and I hope to get there later this year

Jim C - why would you say 'Coll' - cant find any indication of this meaning 'to embrace' - help

Hi Ejay.

The Chambers Dictionary has: coll = to embrace.

JimC

Still need No.28 - The French word attached to the English equivalent (6 letters)

28 is MERSEA Island ('mer' = 'sea' in French).

JimC

I was hoping that either 'LATHE' or 'LETHE' would be an UK island, but sadly it appears not. I have tried all the Scottish islands (and yes, before you say anything, I have a book which has details of all 162 of them which are over 40 hectares) and the only one which gets close is BERNERAY. I don't do foreign languages but SWMBO has a French dictionary which says that 'BERNER' means half-mast. I'm not sure how 'AY' connects to that.

If you think I'm rambling, it's probably because I've been working in the garden for most of the day and it's been 25C. The best cure for that is half a bottle of good Cabernet.

... and in the time it took me to type all that, JimC came up with the right answer. Better have the other half bottle as compensation.

Thanks everybody - you made this a really enjoyable quiz and I enjoyed your 'asides' I can see now how some folks get hooked on chat rooms!!

Probably be back soon when I start struggling again

Hi does anywone know the answers to question 18 and 24 thanks.
